“It  has  come  to  our  age  with  all  the  freshness  of  a news 
either  lives  or  dies  to  himself,  but  that  all  men  live  only 
and  that  we  are  literally  members  of  one  another.  The  r 
helpfulness,  how  to  cooperate  harmoniously  for  the  attt 
may  fittingly  be  called  peace  problems.’’ 


The  World  Alliance  is  interested  solely  in  the  matter 
of  cementing  friendships  between  nations,  by  means  of 
work  through  the  churches.  It  believes  that  the 
Kingdom  of  God  can  be  established  in  the  inter-racial 
and  international  relations  of  men.  It  seeks  to  achieve 
its  purposes  through  the  following  agencies  and  activ- 
ities: 

( a ) National  Councils. 

( b ) Interchange  of  Speakers  and  Preachers. 

(c)  Annual  World  Conference  of  the  International 
Committee. 

(d)  Magazine  and  Bulletins. 

( e ) Correspondence.

in  similar  objects. 

N 

(g)  Visits  of  commissions  between  the  different  coun- 
tries.

ferences  and  sermons.
